For students working in the Latimer Energy Laboratory, summer days were anything but lazy as they worked to design three important projects: a micro-grid power allocation device, a cookstove fan that pasteurizes water while generating electricity, and a system for pulling water out of the air to irrigate vegetation that might die in times of drought.

Since its founding four years ago, the Latimer Energy Laboratory has provided a space for students from all engineering disciplines and the sciences to come together to learn, explore, innovate, and grow.
